“Since it started recently, I knew that most of the prizes are still in the game. Therefore, I bought two tickets, got into the car and erased the protective layers in them. The first ticket was not winning, and the results of the second made me scream with joy, ”the woman said.

She erased the candy symbol and won the top prize in $ 50 000.
